Abstract
Exposed are a semiconductor device and method of fabricating the same. The device includes an insulation film that is disposed between an active pattern and a substrate, which provides various improvements. This structure enhances the efficiency of high integration and offers an advanced structure for semiconductor devices.
Claims3
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- forming a sacrificial film and an active layer in sequence on a substrate;
- successively patterning the active layer, the sacrificial film, and the substrate to form a sacrificial pattern and an active pattern stacked in sequence, and a trench;
- forming a field isolation film to fill the trench;
- partially recessing the field isolation film to partially expose the sacrificial pattern;
- removing the sacrificial pattern by isotropically etching to form an empty region;
- forming a dielectric film to fill the empty region;
- forming an embedded pattern to fill the recess region on the dielectric film formed on the bottom and sidewall of the recess region of the field isolation film;
- forming a gate insulation film and a gate electrode to be stacked in sequence on the active pattern;
- and
- forming a pair of impurity layers to locate in the active pattern at both sides of the gate electrode, respectively, the bottoms of the impurity layers contacting with the dielectric film,
- wherein a channel region between the impurity layers is a data storage field.
